I have installed 5.1 on old PC and am having trouble with the NIC. Although I was able with the help of a couple of 'set hint' statements at boot loader to use the NIC to use ftp for the installation, now the NIC is unavailable after re-booting. After having some time searching for and reading information about the process, I believe the problem resides in a device conflict, but I do not know how to resolve it. Most of what I read explains how to resolve such things before version 5.0 using 'userconfig' which is deprecated in 5.0. I understand the notion of hints but not exactly how to use them to resolve my conflict. In fact, I am not sure how to interpret the output from dmesg in order to pinpoint the actual problem. How do I determine what to ignore and what is important? I can see that the NIC is recognized early on. I also see some suspicious stuff about PNP devices later, but if they are the problem, I am not sure how to resolve them. I would appreciate some help in understanding how to go about problem solving this. Looking at the dmesg output, can you see the problem with the NIC? If so, how? What is a good resource for explaining this process? Thanks for you help. Here is my dmesg output: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
